Official Trailer: Director Rahul Sadasivan in his debut movie Bhoothakalam made us sit up and take notice of him. Bhoothakalam is a well-made horror genre movie that kept us guessing whether the protagonists are hallucinating because of their state of mind or encountering supernatural powers. Rahul Sadavisan scores another ace with his second outing Brahmayugam. I would say he is one of the handful of directors from Kollywood and Mollywood
Official Trailer: Malayalam film industry has kick started 2024 on a high. In span of two months, we have Malaikottai Vaaliban, Brahmayugam, and now Manjummel Boys. We can be lenient and add Kaathal – The Core (released November 2023) to the list. All different genre movies. What is common between them is the high confidence on the content, writing, and bold film making. Manjummel Boys is based on a true
Official Trailer: [SPOILERS AHEAD …] There are lots of similarities between The Great Indian Kitchen (TGIK) and Kaathal – The Core. Other than the fact that both are from the same director, Jeo Baby. Focus of these two movies is about love and freedom, but TGIK is an angrier version about lack of love and oppression in a marriage. There is more love in Kaathal, there is no anger, and
Two movies. One packages a good cinema while giving space to the heroisms. Second one fails to impress as a cinema but scores in tugging our hearts with its core message of humanity. Ayothi: Ignore the flaws this is a movie highly needed for the current India we live in 👏 Looking at the name I feared the movie is a Saami Padam, a movie about God. What a pleasant
Official Trailer: Iratta is a solid directorial debut by Rohit M.G.Krishnan. He knew he has a great story to tell in his hand and that confidence shows in his direction. We have seen so many movies with twins as protagonists. When we think we have run out of ideas, we get Iratta with its fresh spin with twins. It is a police procedural drama bookended with a strong opening stretch,
A movie comes with a new template, well received and that sets a trend for similar movies. Most of the times it is not the movie we wish. A movie like Kadaisi Vivasayi or Aandavan Kattalai doesn’t set a trend even though those two are well made cinemas. But a successful Kanchana opens the door for similar ghost / supernatural movies that falls under comedy-horror genre, but horror-torture for the
Wonder Women: Highly restrained and packed with emotions Official Trailer: Anjali Menon has pulled off a casting coup in Wonder Women. What else one can say about Nadia Moidu, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Nithya Menen, Padmapriya, Sayanora Philip, Archana Padmini, and Amruta Subhash in the same movie? All we need is a simple plot to watch these talented actors on screen. We get more than that in Wonder Women, a feel-good film
Official Trailer: When we open the newspaper do we stop and ask who decides which news get to be the headline, which ones make it to the front page or end up as a small item in inner page? What we get to read? Or who controls the topics in 24×7 news channels? What we get to see and hear? Two similar incidents, one gets to be on the front
Official Trailer: Puzhu is a psychological thriller beautifully imagined in a home invasion genre. Better way to say, it is the invasion of the mind. Kuttan, portrayed by Mamootty, the brahmin protagonist feels his territory is being violated when his sister, Bharathy, portrayed by Parvathy Thiruvothu, moves in with her husband, Kuttappan, portrayed by Appunni Sasi, in the same apartment complex. Kuttan feels the environment is polluted by their moving
Official Trailer: So far there are very few anthologies where all the stories worked. After Sillu Karupatti, all the five stories fare better, cross the above average bar, giving something fresh in Freedom Fight. The impact of each story comes out different. Ration and Old Age Home are subtle and leaves the interpretation to the audience. Geethu Unchained conveys the freedom aspect in a straightforward manner, nothing overdone but no
